About Me

I've been very fortunate to have experienced living in India, Australia and The Netherland. Besides being beautiful and diverse cultures, I'll always be grateful for the things that I've learnt and the wonderful people I've met in all these places.
On a regular basis, I love the outdoors and barely a day passes without sports in my life. I play football, basketball and a bit of squash and tennis. Outside of that, I do a lot of cycling and hiking every summer🏕️🚲 I also documented a recent cycling trip of mine from Spain to Norway, so in case you'd like to get a glimpse of what life is like on a bicycle, here are the links:

The rest I guess we'll keep for when we meet! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started using the app while I was on a cycling trip to the Alps from the Netherlands so thought I'd give it a shot! (Hadn't heard about it before, please don't ask which cave I've been living in till now :P). I met some incredible people along the way and I'm still in touch with many of them and I hope to meet many more great people through it😁

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's nothing like seeing the world by bike🚲
I've had so many amazing experiences this way, but my first long trip was cycling 1200 km to the Alps and hiking the tour du mont blanc for 9 days. Since that was the beginning, I would give it top spot on my list😁
I also recently just finished my longest trip on my bicycle, 5280 km from Spain to Norway and couldn't believe some of the landscapes I was crossing and also having the opportunity to meet my friends and their families along the way in different countries! I really don't know which of these trips tops my list personally haha :)
